Sen. Sessions: House Refugee Bill Fails to Defend Americans

“This is an urgent matter and that is why we’re dealing with it urgently”, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) said.

President Barack Obama has threatened a veto, but the number of House members who voted for the bill would be enough to override a veto. “The recent terrorist attacks in Paris have Americans understandably concerned”. Tell them that if they fund Obama’s risky Syrian “refugee” program they own it. Tell them that if they fund the program that brings jihad to America then they are complicit in the murder and bloodshed that will surely follow.

Moreover, when the Administration was asked if Syrian refugees could end up coming to the United States and joining ISIS like Minnesota’s Somali refugees, the answer was blunt: ‘we can’t predict the future.’ Each year, the USA permanently resettles more than 100,000 Muslim migrants inside the United States.

Hill said Thursday’s vote “gets the ball moving in the right direction, but it is missing needed provisions that will avoid this same pitfall down the road”.

“Just over a month ago, officials from the Department of Homeland Security admitted before the Immigration Subcommittee that there is no database in Syria against which they can run a check” Sessions said.

“America needs to remain a beacon of hope, liberty, and freedom for the rest of the world”, Hill said. Now FBI leader Comey confirmed the FBI has 1,000 open Islamic State investigations in all 50 states.

“The current proposal being considered in the House in response to the President’s risky refugee plan – the American SAFE Act – fails to defend the interests of the American people”.

“The American SAFE Act of 2015 has nothing to do with keeping Americans safe”. It is with this in mind that I have spent the last week reviewing our refugee screening protocols and meeting with federal law enforcement and intelligence community leadership responsible for protecting our country.

Earlier in the week, Crawford unveiled the Refugee Relocation Security Act, which would block the relocation of refugees from Syria and Iraq to the United States until Congress votes to lift the moratorium set in his bill.

“We want to make sure have the most robust vetting process in the history of this country”, Rep. Todd Young (R-IN) said.

“Since its inception, the United States has been a haven for immigrants and refugees from around the world, and I’m proud of that tradition”. MPI reported less than 25 percent of refugee households with at least 10 years in the USA receiving food stamps between 2009-11, compared to 11 percent of US born.

“ISIS has already indicated they want to attack further places in the West including the United States of America”, he said.
